Our Military sucks!!!!!
Our military can't even subdue a little city like Baghdad!

We have being billions and billions of tax dollars a year for decades and this is what we get for our money??

40% of our soliders can not even read and write. Most join the army because they can't get a job in the private sector or they are avoiding jail. The rest join because they are on some damn power trip .

I say the military should be used for defense ONLY. We need to slash the military budget and put more money in social services and health care.

You must get your facts from a tabloid newpaper or NPR. Just reading your screen name makes me question your post. Wouldn't matter if it said bush or santa clause, it says your an emotionaly charged person.

Think before you type. Your making the political party you associate with look bad.
